A review of the optical properties of biological tissues
TLDR
The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed in this article.Abstract:
The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation, and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed. The theoretical foundations for most experimental approaches are outlined. Relations between Kubelka-Munk parameters and transport coefficients are listed. The optical properties of aorta, liver, and muscle at 633 nm are discussed in detail. An extensive bibliography is provided. >read more

Quantitative analysis of light scattering in polarization-resolved nonlinear microscopy
TL;DR: This work develops a characterization methodology based on four wave mixing that shows that the use of an un-analyzed detection makes the polarization-dependence read-out highly robust to scattering effects, even in regimes where imaging might be degraded.

Changes in optical properties of rat skin during thermal coagulation
TL;DR: Thomsen et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the optical properties of albino rat skin will be altered as aresult of heating and that these changes could be related to morphological changes ofthermally coagulated dermal collagen.

Impact of the emission wavelengths on in vivo multiphoton imaging of mouse brains
TL;DR: Three-photon imaging of mouse brain vasculature in vivo using green, red, and near-infrared emission fluorophores is performed, and quantitatively the attenuation of the fluorescence signal in the mouse brain at the emission wavelengths of 520 nm, 615 nm and 711 nm is compared.

New contributions to the optics of intensely light-scattering materials.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gurevic and Judd formulas were derived from the Kubelka-Munk differential equations, and they are exact under the same conditions as in this paper, that is, when the material is perfectly dull and when the light, is perfectly diffused or if it is parallel and hits the specimen under an angle of 60° from normal.

Time resolved reflectance and transmittance for the non-invasive measurement of tissue optical properties.
TL;DR: A simple model is developed, based on the diffusion approximation to radiative transfer theory, which yields analytic expressions for the pulse shape in terms of the interaction coefficients of a homogeneous slab.

The delta-Eddington approximation for radiative flux transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the delta-Eddington approximation was used to calculate monochromatic radiative fluxes in an absorbing-scattering atmosphere, by combining a Dirac delta function and a two-term approximation, which overcomes the poor accuracy of the Eddington approximation for highly asymmetric phase functions.
